[Champion Concept] Bathezil The Slave Driver
This idea originates around the fact, there is no Champions running around with dual whips slashing up a storm. I envision Bathezil as a very masculine, well kept, slender type of man. Perhaps a scar across his face from a previous mishap. Armed with two whips, and dressed as though he just stepped out of a lifestyle of nobility and privilege, maybe even has a secret love affair with Fiora. He is full of himself and believes he is better than everyone else. But what better place to find someone to throw into a gladiator pit then taking down a seasoned champion for sport. He comes from a disreputable but wealthy family of slave drivers & traders, making a profit off selling the unlucky into even more of an unfortunate circumstance.
His attacks would have a lot of range on them versus other melee as his whips would let him strike from much further back.
Passive - Overpower - As he takes damage from attacks, his attack damage is temporarily increased by the more damage he has taken until he leaves combat or is healed. (Being persistent to subdue, he won't back down until he has won!)
Q - Lasso - This ability would Lasso his target with his whip preventing them from running any distance greater than the Whip length for 5 seconds, activating it again would pull them in to his feet.
W - Whiplash - This would be his in your face attack, lashing out with both whips to deal X Amount + double his normal attack damage, scaling the base damage with each rank. If the target is lassoed it ill only deal X Amount + Normal Damage striking with a single whip.
E - Enslave - Minions (friend or foe) and Monsters below 30% health can be enslaved to fight with Bathezil for 15 seconds initially, boosted by a percent of his move speed, damage, armor and magic resist. These slaves will automatically attack the same target as Bathezil, When cast on an enemy champion, the slaves will target the champion until they die, or the enslave duration ends. Duration and number of enslaved minions would increase per rank. 1 slave per rank, additional 5 seconds per rank. For 5 Slaves for 35 seconds each at rank 5.
R - Molten Flogging - His whips become engulfed in fire, He attacks with rapid speed and does bonus damage, targets hit are set ablaze to burn for additional damage over time for 5 seconds based off the total damage done to them, Each successive strike while his ult is active will increase the damage per tick of the burn and reset the timer. If the target is lassoed, only a single whip will strike but each strike will increase the duration of lasso by 1 second up to 5 additional seconds.
If anyone has any ideas, suggestions, etc. I would certainly be interested to hear them.
For some ideas of how the Champion could appear or attacks could look, this vid is done by a professional whip cracker, but would be *** to have a champ with those. Here is a YouTube of Flaming Double whips
Most whip wielding real people seem to all be cowboy types, but for a char, it would flow in good with all of the existing cowboy skins.
